Traffic stopper

, November 24, 2012

A house is seen in the middle of a newly built road in Wenling, Zhejiang province, November 24. An elderly couple refused to sign an agreement to allow their house to be demolished.

They say that compensation offered is not enough to cover rebuilding costs, according to local media. Their house is the only building left standing on a road which is paved through their village. Reuters/Aly Song
